MayIt's time to take the gloves off and go bare.

The term Bare Hands...how many people recognise that as being a title of a Delta Goodrem track?
Of course, it is also a relatively common phrase describing the state of doing or experiencing something without additional equipment or accessories on ones hands...but that's not what I want to talk about.
Bare Hands is track 7 from Delta Goodrem's third album, simply titled "Delta". It is my favourite track off the album. It is a slightly different sound for her, simultaneously being a piano-driven pop song with a more prominent beat accompanying it, giving it a slightly more uptempo feel. The beat is simple, allowing the piano and the melodies to take centre stage. That sounds like a really unexciting description of the song, but I think that it is a subtle song...the lyrics are subtle yet meaningful, the piano is simple yet captivating...I especially like it at the start and the interlude three-quarters of the way into the song.
Anyway, I'll let the song do the talking. There isn't an official video for the song seeing as it is unreleased. But I've found a video which I think uses the song to great effect.
Bare Hands
I've got a question on my mind
You can answer in your time
Just don't freeze like a deer in the headlights
Sometimes it's the risk of getting hurt
That's beautiful and worse,
Is being numb feeling nothing at all
A little pain lets you know your alive
We gotta live and love not just survive
Hearts that don't love can't be broken
A dream stays a dream if not woken
If you never bleed then you won't understand
Come pick me red roses with your bare hands
I'm standing right in front of you
But you don't know what to do
It's the fear of thorns that keeps you out of the garden
Be brave, be the fool, you've never been
'cause i'll be here to kiss you skin
Melt me on the path where love could begin
Hearts that don't love can't be broken
A dream stays a dream if not woken
If you never bleed then you won't understand
Come pick me red roses with your bare hands
Make me feel i'm worth it
Don't love me with gloves on
Pick me roses roses with your bare hands
Make me feel i'm worth the scratches
Hearts that don't love can't be broken
A dream stays a dream if not woken
If you never bleed then you won't understand
Come pick me red roses with your bare hands
A little pain lets you know you're alive
We gotta live and love not just survive
